Post Nobils has a distinctive, appealing space. The furniture is square and angular, in a dark brown tone, with colorful small objects placed around as accents.

The exposed brick-like texture and partially exposed concrete on the pillars and walls, revealing the building’s original structure, gives the whole space an industrial feel. The lighting carries that same industrial mood, while the exposed wiring is finished cleanly in iron, giving it a more polished look.

The large windows give a good sense of openness, and the space itself is spacious. A spot where a wall was opened up has been finished naturally, creating both a sense of separation between areas and an interior design effect at the same time.

The rough wall texture pairs nicely with the green curves of the plants placed around the room.

Right now, the space has a strong Christmas mood running through it — the red and green accents bring energy to the otherwise monotone space.

There are square wooden chairs that look like they came straight out of an elementary school classroom — refreshingly plain and honest in design.

On the way to the restroom, there’s a guestbook packed full of entries — traces left behind by all the people who clearly love this place.

The bar area stands out too, with rough textures balanced against well-finished wood that has real visual appeal.

The coffee is great, and the space is spacious enough to work in or gather with a group.

If you’re looking for a long-standing, well-loved coffee spot that’s held its ground in Mangwon, Post Nobils is worth a visit.
